Show K THE SUN ON PERRY HEATH. K Tlio representative of the New York Sun on the K President's train wired for his paper from Laramie H' the following: mm "The Hon. Perry S. Heath' at Salt Lake City jK yesterday was interviewed with great interest by jK the President's friends. Mr. Heath is regarded in m Dtah as a sort of a political viceroy of Senator K Hanna. It was thought that the real state of Mr. sn Hanna's feelings toward Mr. Roosevelt as a can- K didate for the Republican' nomination for Presl- K dent might be disclosed by Mr. Heath's estimate H of Mr. Roosevelt's popularity In Utah. Mr. Heath m owns a newspaper. In its columns he threw fits K 'of imaginative expressions of adoration for Mr. m Roosevelt as a candidate. The paper fairly sizzled !Hj with affection for the President. K "In conversation Mr. Heath, while not hysteri- B' cal, spoke as from a portion of high respect and B! loyalty toward Mr. Roosevelt. He talked as one S great statesman should talk in commenting upon j the sterling worth and high deserts of another. B But Mr. Heath admits that he is worrie'd. He H does not know whether or not the Mormon church B: is going to have a heavenly revelation about the H next nominating convention or elections. ' Such H revelations often change the existing course of Bf events n Utah. It is significant that Mr. Heath is K; worried, While he is not a Mormon, he has the H name ot knowing more about the inner workings H of the church of Latter-day Saints than do most B Gentiles, especially as regards political matters. B "If the church gets a levelation against Mr. H Roosevelt, Mr. Heath will be one of the first to B be informed of it. Mr. Heath is a very close H friend and an associate in many railroad and B other enterprises Tast and West of R. C. Kerens iB of Missouri, the man who became nervous yester- W day when jocularly advised by the secretary to the Bj President to "get aboard our train." |
